You're probably correct that his stuff does translate well to longer timeframes although I believe it is tailored for the shorter term interday stuff. The short term interday trader will experience the fears he speaks of several times a day while the longer timeframe traders will have far less opportunity to make the plethora of pyschological mistakes that a daytrader has available.
